AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
1026 PM EDT TUE JUN 24 2014

.UPDATE...
THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 353 PM EDT TUE JUN 24 2014

AFTER STORMS COME TO AN END TONIGHT AFTER COLD FRONTAL
PASSAGE...STORM CHANCES WILL LESSEN TO ONLY SLIGHT CHANCES UNTIL
THURSDAY AFTERNOON. AFTER THAT AGAIN WILL SEE CHANCES FOR
THUNDERSTORMS OFF AND ON THROUGH THE PERIOD IN PROGRESSIVE PATTERN.
NEAR AVERAGE TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB TO ABOVE AVERAGE LATE IN THE
PERIOD.

&&

.NEAR TERM /REST OF TONIGHT/...

ISSUED AT 927 PM EDT TUE JUN 24 2014

A COLD FRONT WILL EXIT THE AREA LATER TONIGHT AND TAKE THE
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WITH IT. FOR NOW MOST OF THE ACTIVITY HAS
ABATED WITH SUNSET...HOWEVER A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE STILL POSSIBLE THROUGH MIDNIGHT.

WITH AMPLE LOW LEVEL AND GROUND MOISTURE...AND LIGHT WINDS IN IT/S
WAKE COULD SEE PATCHY FOG DEVELOP AS RAIN ENDS...AND
SOUNDINGS/TIME HEIGHTS INDICATE NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES COULD SEE
AREAS OF FOG. FOR NOW HAVE INCLUDED PATCHY FOG IN GRIDS ACROSS ALL
OF CWA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

ISSUED AT 353 PM EDT TUE JUN 24 2014

SHOULD START OUT THE DAY DRY ON WEDNESDAY BUT REMNANTS OF THE FRONT
STALLED NEAR THE OHIO RIVER COULD ALLOW FOR A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
STORMS TO DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON AS INSTABILITY INCREASES.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT NAM NOW DEVELOPS A LITTLE UPPER JETLET OVER THE AREA
AND THEN DEVELOPS PRECIP WITH IT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE
AREA. GFS IS NOT AS AGGRESSIVE WITH THIS FEATURE BUT DOES SHOW A
SIMILAR BUT WEAKER FEATURE IN THE JET BUT REMAINS DRY. BROUGHT A
SLIGHT CHANCE BACK INTO THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES. ON THURSDAY A FRONT
STARTS FORMING UP AND MOVES INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN COUNTIES AND MAY
STAY THERE INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. A BIT OF UPPER SUPPORT BUT NOT GREAT
AND STILL HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTHEAST SO KEPT THE HIGHEST POPS
CONFINED TO THE SOUTHWEST. BY FRIDAY THIS FRONT MOVES OVER THE AREA
AND THUS WENT WITH CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS EVERYWHERE. FOR
TEMPERATURES GENERALLY USED A CONSENSUS WITH NEAR AVERAGE HIGHS AND
LOWS.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...

ISSUED AT 353 PM EDT TUE JUN 24 2014

OFF AND ON CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE LONG
TERM. DID NOT DEVIATE FROM ALLBLEND WITH SEVERE WEATHER ONGOING CURRENTLY.
TEMPERATURES WILL INCREASE DURING THE LONG TERM AS AN UPPER RIDGE
BUILDS OVER THE EASTERN U.S.

&&

.AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 250300Z KIND TAF UPDATE/...
ISSUED AT 1026 PM EDT TUE JUN 24 2014

SHORT TERM MODEL DATA SUGGEST SOME WEAK LIFT WILL CONTINUE INTO THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS UNDER THE UPPER TROUGH...SO A SMALL THREAT FOR
SOME SHOWER ACTIVITY REMAINS...BUT NOT ENOUGH TO CONTINUE TO CARRY
IN THE FORECAST.

SHOULD START TO SEE SOME MVFR VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS IN LIGHT FOG
DEVELOP SOON GIVEN THE NARROW TEMPERATURE/DEWPOINT SPREADS AND LIGHT
GRADIENT...BUT THINK THE IFR CONDITIONS ARE STILL A FEW HOURS AWAY.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS.

RADAR INDICATES THE MAJORITY OF THE SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS
PASSED OFF TO THE EAST OF THE TAF SITES. SCATTERED SHOWERS CONTINUE
OVER EASTERN ILLINOIS AND FAR WESTERN INDIANA ASSOCIATED WITH THE
UPPER TROUGH. SHORT TERM MODELS SUGGEST THIS FEATURE WILL PASS OFF
TO THE EAST OF THE TAF SITES AROUND 250400Z...SO THERE IS SOME THREAT
FOR SHOWERS IN THE VICINITY OF THE TAF SITES UNTIL THEN. MOST OF
THIS ACTIVITY LOOKS DIURNAL IN NATURE AND CONSIDERING THE AIR MASS
LOCALLY HAS STABILIZED DUE TO THE EARLIER CONVECTION...THE THREAT
FOR ADDITIONAL LIGHTNING ACTIVITY THIS EVENING LOOKS PRETTY LOW.

OTHERWISE...SYNOPTIC PATTERN FAVORS IFR CEILINGS/VISIBILITY
RESTRICTIONS IN FOG LATER TONIGHT GIVEN THE LIGHT GRADIENT AND
HUMID AIR MASS.

&&

.IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
